@TRiG It doesn't to a Jew. The story of
Jonah is the epitome of
teshuva (repentance). That's why we read it annually on Yom Kippur (see
judaism.stackexchange.com/q/18691/759). It's about realizing one's previous actions were wrong and trying to restart a relationship with God even when you don't initially understand all of His decisions (
